also is it normal for her to only poop once maybe twice a day?

Yes pooing once or twice a day is normal.
You won't necessarily see the worms in the poo if she has them. Better to worm the kitten rather than root through her poo! You can get good kitten wormer from a vet - don't use useless stuff from petshops!
Milbemax kitten is suitable, or panacur/drontal suspension, get your vet to give you some. Prevention is ALWAYS better than cure.

It's normal to poop once or twice a day. And the worms in the poop, I really don't know. Still treat it for future problems, maybe once a month.

yes of course. You may not see the worms at all - and the eggs are too tiny to be seen with the naked eye....you need to have your cat dewormed as a precaution or taken to the vet for a fecal exam so the vet can test the stool for parasites. That is the only way you will know for sure.
Good luck.

Yes she can still have worms. Although you can sometimes see tapeworm pieces or actual tapeworms in the stool, rounds can't be seen witht he naked eye, they can be seen under a microscope. Coccidia can't be seen by the naked eye, neither can Giardia. You have to take a fresh stool sample to the vet for testing.
Each animal is different, 2x a day having a bowel movement might be normal for her.
Most kittens have some type of parasite, please get the stool checked asap.

When we first had our kitten dewormed, we were given medication and told that after the meds were gone, to check her belly. If it's firm and slightly distended and bloated, there is a good chance she still has worms. We had to give her meds twice to get rid of them completely. When in doubt, ask a vet.
